Great Outfits: Kristen Stewart

For La Stew, I like this, too -- simple with a twist, edgy like she is but not trying so hard that there are visible signs of exertion. And in this shot, I'm digging on the hair color, too -- it looks like that transitional hue that brunettes spend some time with when they're in the midst of going blonde, so it'll be curious to see where she takes it in the next few weeks, but it makes a fun break from Bella's chestnut hair and the raven, greasy spikes from her Joan Jett phase.

Right now it's apparently pretty hot in New York, so a pale, basic tank dress seems climate-apt, even if I don't think the color does anything for her. On the one hand she does look a bit like she's headed to a Church luncheon; on the other, it is Today. So all that considered, and after going back and forth about whether this is too boring, I embrace this as occasion-appropriate. And after all this press malarkey, she still looks happy and charming. IT CAN BE DONE, AMERICA.

Whenever I ding Kristen Stewart for looking like she'd rather let a woodpecker pierce her ears than be at any of her premieres, people often fight back by claiming that she's just "being herself," and that it would be deeply wrong on a spiritual level to ask her to act bubbly. I contend there is a middle ground between surly and falsely spazzy-happy, and voila, K.Stew proves me right here. What's more, that dress is adorable -- kind of a tornado of sequins, the likes of which would give a magpie a joy coronary. I don't even mind the messy updo, because it looks purposefully done and not like a victim of the treadmill, and least her hair looks clean.

I must confess that I rather love this picture. She has, as Tyra would point out, made her own hair-wind. Can we also just take a moment to talk about all the things that Tyra has taught us, maybe in spite of ourselves? They include: the important of hair-wind, smizing, and elongating one's neck.

Kristen heads to the event in tan jacquard Burberry pants topped with a tough 1020 by Nicole leather jacket and black Bally pumps.

Looking every bit the Runaway, Kristen wears leather liquid leggings from Bird by Juicy Couture and sneakers topped with a black-and-white flannel shirt, gray Market T-shirt and long coat.

Kristen Stewart is predictable in a molasses leather bustier strapless dress with as usually, boring black (satin) pumps. On this occasion she wore a burgundy leather strapless dress from Jasmine di Milo’s Spring 2010 collection which has pockets. This feels like de ja vu, because yesterday I liked the dress, but hated the heels and I have the same feeling again today. Seriously, can’t her stylist give her type of heels to wear? These aren’t even the same as the one’s she wore yesterday as these are by Bally.
Does she travel with a case full of black pumps? Yawn but this is Kristen's style so I guess I have to deal with it sometimes.

She surprised me by wearing this Doo.Ri Spring 2010 dress, because this dress appears to be everything I think Kristen would hate: cute, bubblegum pink and girlie. I’m equally surprised that I liked her in this dress, because for the first time in a long time she looked happy on the red carpet and comfortable in her own skin. Confidence is half the attraction, and Kristen had that last night despite not being in her comfort zone wearing this dress. I still think she would look great in menswear-inspired looks but this look gets a thumbs up from me. The only downside is that her stylist let her down with the boring black peep-toes. AGAIN.

I LOVE this dress. It looks like it was made wholly of recyclables, but I think it's divine. Now if ONLY SHE WOULD STAND UP STRAIGHT MY GOD WOMAN THAT DRESS DEMANDS YOUR MOST BAD-ASS POSTURE YOU HAVE TURNED ME INTO MY MOTHER.

On the other hand, I did just adjust my own posture here at my desk, so thanks for the visual aid.We were commenting on how she could try to do something new with her hair, and here we have a sleek updo with a few pieces falling down one side of her face to keep the look modern. Kristen skipped the statement jewelry and let her intricately embellished minidress take the spotlight. Consider going sans necklace the next time you wear a sparkly number. This time last year Kristen would’ve looked like she had to be wrestled into this Emilio Pucci sparkling strapless mini dress, but here she stands tall with plenty of confidence. I love the dress – she’s clearly having a mini moment – but the black Sergio Rossi heels are killing me. With all those colors on her dress you would’ve thought her stylist would have picked one to match her dress. Baby steps…

K-Stew had more confidence and she smiled more on the red carpet wearing an Emilio Pucci Fall 2009 bustier dress with an embellished bodice. Her dress was paired with Bally “Amantea” criss-cross satin ankle strap sandals. This dress is very Kristen as it is EDGY, strapless and a mini dress.

In fact, I rather like the dress itself, seeing as it's unusual and it fits properly. The shoes, I could leave, and I really wish she'd gotten a pedicure (that's just me, though -- I love a dark painted toenail, inasmuch as anyone who hates feet can feel affection for toenails), and she still seems unsure of how to hold herself in public. Also, smile. It's truly acceptable to act like you're happy with your life and career. For real. Maybe the glum expression is just an ode to the black detail around her waist, which might be making her feel emotionally connected to perennial loser and fellow zig-zag aficionado Charlie Brown, who also has very little to smile about, considering that his best friend is a dog with superiority issues and a girl whose greatest joy in life is seeing him fall on his ass when he tries to kick a football.

But that's neither here nor there, and I promise I will stop barking about her lack of enthusiasm
Kristen wore a look from the amazing Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 collection. She layered a black classic coat over a sheer grey knit wrap blouse and draped knot satin skirt. This could’ve been a great look if it weren’t for that black coat and those black Bally pumps. It was unlikely she was going to wear strappy sandals and a not wear a coat on a cold rainy afternoon in London, but as usual the styling lets her down. I think she would’ve looked better and been happier wearing something from the menswear collection.

Kristen Stewart was one of the presenters at the 2010 Oscars last night. I would’ve really like the young actress to have surprised me, but her custom-made Monique Lhuillier gown was to be expected- Dark and moody. Her stunning strapless midnight blue silk satin organza gown had a beautifully sculpted ruched bodice and a fitted asymmetrical draped trumpet skirt. She finished her look with a diamond bracelet by H. Stern and Bally heels.

I'm giving credit where credit is due: I LOVE this navy blue pleated number on K. Stew. She looks gorgeous, but she still looks like herself (for all our yapping about Kristen, it's not like we want her to show up places looking like, I don't know, Miley Cyrus). This gown is mature, but not too old for her; intriguing, but not dipping too far into the crazy juice; simple, but not snoresville. Thumbs up, kid. See Kristen, I'm sure you will either look great at your premiers OR you will look like you just woke up from a nap in a pile of Rob's hair product, and either way we're going to have fun.

The young actress wore a navy and white striped Camilla and Marc Spring 2008 mini dress, which is very much becoming her red carpet staple. I love the asymmetric detail of the skirt, and how long her legs look in this fresh dress. She wore her dress with black t-bar heels. Got great legs? Show them off with a short hemline—choose a dress with couture-quality details like tiers and draping for a formal effect.

If we expected Kristen Stewart to wear a cute pink mini dress, with silver strappy sandals, we were wrong. She hit the red carpet wearing a Yigal Azroul Fall 2009 red and black dress, with a cross cross detail on the sheer yoke, and a wide black belt. I can imagine her being wrestled into this dress, and her stylist compromising on the Converse sneakers, but she totally rocks this look.

Kristen gave us the colour we were hoping-praying- for wearing a multi-coloured Proenza Schouler Spring 2010 ensemble. I love the color…can I just say that again I LOVE the color. The tie-dye top has a kind of reptile print feel to it, whilst the mini skirt is soft and feminine. It’s the perfect mix of edgy and feminine to suit the actress who less comfortable in girly clothes. I would like to say I love this look head-to-toe, but as usual I got a THUD at the feet. The runway shoes would have been so cute don’t you think? Kristen chose one of the collection’s bolder scuba-inspired looks, swapping the runway’s open-toe sandals for a classic, season-friendly black pump.

Kristen likes prints, and here she is wearing a gold and blue spotted DKNY dress and black pumps.

Kristen rocks this Herve Leger by Max Azria coral neon dress with varirgated black stripes that give willowy figured Kristen much needed curves.

Kristen wore an edgy Paule Ka black leather dress, with nude illusion straps, and a white origami detailed stitched hem. This is were her messy hair works, not on a couture gown. This dress feels more like her style. She looks more comfortable here

In a black and white Herve Leger Resort 2010 dress with gorgeous patent pumps yet with bed head hair.

In a laser-cut sequin black and white dotted Jason Wu Spring 2010 girlie strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline. She wears Sergio Rossi peep-toe platform pumps and Neil Lane jewelry. Kristen didn’t make this look seem like too much hard work. I like that she belted the dress with a leather belt, and managed to keep her hair under control. It’s wasn’t a Cinderella fantasy tulle gown that didn’t suit her shape, nor personality and I don’t feel like she was wrestled into this dress.


Kristen looked comfortable swearing a Balenciaga Spring 2010 grey jersey organza embossed top with sheer panels, paired with a petrol leather skirt which also has sheer panels. You’ll be pleased to see we even get a wide genuine smile. Kristen’s skirt has sheer panels and through those panels you can see her pants. I guess this is a trend that’s going to be around until the end of next summer, so we better get used to it.

I love the fact that she attempted to tame the hair. It’s much better than some of the horrors she’s been sporting lately. I like the olive green color of her Valentino chiffon dress, and the soft pleats. The dress has asymmetrical pleating and ruffles running down one strap. Kristen wears Sergio Rossi black peep-toe pumps.

Kristen Stewart is very well known for her grungy chic and she nails a feminine yet edgy Balenciaga asymmetrical lace top dress, with her usually messy hair pulled back in a loose up ‘do, Christian Louboutin simple suede pumps, and Chanel fine jewelry.

Great Outfits: Freida Pinto

Man, I remember back when all the Dev Patel/Freida Pinto rumors were first circulating, and we were all, "NONSENSE! HE IS A FETUS!" Well. That might have been true, but so were the rumors. That'll teach us! They are at least cute together, and I'm very happy to see her pretty face back on the red carpet.






It's probably a case of the right girl wearing the right dress: The shoulder bling suits her, the ornate waist detail doesn't overpower her, and somehow the open sleeves end up looking slouchy-chic rather than like a desperate urge to remember a simpler time when we all did aerobics wearing belted leotards. It's as if it stops just shy of being overly matchy, somehow. I don't know. Maybe I just have a blind spot when it comes to her, since she seems so charming and nice. A little genuine warmth goes a long way.









Freida Pinto definitely stood out in her blue John Galliano Spring 2009 gown. I loved the one shoulder long sleeve gown with the all lace, beading, embroidery and tulle. The gown was perfect for her, as it feels Indian inspired. She completed her look with a Judith Leiber clutch. Freida's stunning diamond ring is unique in that it has a 150 year old vintage diamond from her native India.


I love Freida Pinto. I think she is so pretty. Today would be so much more delicious if I were Freida Pinto, running around Paris and looking at myself in the mirror and brushing my pretty shiny hair. I’m crazy over Freida Pinto’s Fall 2009 look consisting of an electric blue jersey top paired with a matching layered ruffle tulle chiffon skirt. I’m drawn to the bright color, the open-toe boots and bag.


The nude runway version of this Valentino Spring 2010 dress is beautiful, but the Indian beauty picked a black sheer version with a nude underlay which I absolutely adore. I love the shoes. And the bag. And the fouffiness of the skirt ("fouffiness" being a technical fashion term). It makes me want to twirl around.
Her look was paired with satin black heels and a Roger Vivier "Canasta" clutch.

Freida Pinto wore a simple black gown with cut-out detail on the waist.
The gold trim on her dress complemented her gold clutch and the gold ribbons in her hair.

So: It's NOT a detached bra top. That is wonderful news. But that black overlay is so BUSY. The way it lies on her bodice creates the illusion that her boobs are unnaturally high -- like, right under her collarbone -- and then that top ruffle looks like he belly button might use it as a megaphone, and then those hip panels... it's a LOT. So while I respect that it's kind of an edgy take on a prim silhouette, I also can't help feeling it's so BUSY. I want it to slow down, take a deep breath, and maybe consider a nap. Still, I think Freida rocks this edgy sheer tiered Christopher Kane black layered dress, with Rupert Sanderson Khyber cutout sandals and a glittery clutch. She made a skin-baring dress utterly ladylike by adding an undone updo and pared-down accessories. Try a sheer number with clean, graphic lines to avoid the lingerie-inspired look of lace.

I adore this soft yellow twisted Burberry Prorsum dress on her, as she is truly glowing. She opted for a purple studded Burberry clutch and Rupert Sanderson "Aspasia" fuchsia patent heels to complete her look. Very interesting colored accessories for her yellow dress.

She looked stunning wearing an asymmetrical Stella McCartney Resort 2010 dress.
The black satin dress has a sheer yoke with an interesting detail on the bodice which drapes over one-shoulder and onto the skirt. She added some gold touches to her look including a gold, vibrant embroidered sequin Stella McCartney clutch, a bold gold cuff and gold metallic Jimmy Choo "Freya" heels. Beautiful as always.



The beauty is in the Chanel's chicness, its bold brooches, and the origami sleeves. Outstanding.

Freida Pinto arrived at the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2009 show looking gorgeous wearing an ivory Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 dress.
The dress had a ruffled detail on one shoulder, and she wore her dress with those outstanding bejeweled belts, that were heavily featured in the Spring 2009 collection. A black clutch and sandals completed her look.

The beautiful actress wore a strapless yellow, orange and gold printed Missoni Spring 2009 mini dress, which had been shorten from the runway. This modification was right for Freida. She also replaced the embellished runway sash, with a shimmering sunshiny yellow one.
Her look was completed with a gold clutch, and a pair of blush Sergio Rossi sandals.

She wore a Dries Van Noten coral draped dress, with a wide black belt and black straps.
She accessorized her dress with black studded Jimmy Choo strappy sandals and a Liberty of London clutch.

Freida Pinto wore a black Chanel Resort 2009 dress, with a floral embellished see-through yoke.
She completed the look with gorgeous black strappy Jimmy Choo "Verity" heels, whilst styling her hair in a chic updo.

She wore an adorable Oscar de la Renta gown, from the Resort 2009 collection.
The pretty pink dress was the perfect color, with the 18th century Fred Leighton jewels and her Jimmy Choo sandals were the perfect compliment.

Freida Pinto looks nothing short of breath-taking, wearing this metallic one-shouldered Zac Posen Spring 2009 dress, with matching peep-toes and a clutch from Jimmy Choo and diamond earrings and a raspberry tourmaline ring from Amrapali.

She accented her periwinkle gown with shoes and a box clutch from Roger Vivier and Martin Katz diamonds.

In a Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2008 Couture chain-mail dress. Her black belted cocktail dress has a melon coloured cowl neck both at the front and back. She carries a Chanel quilted clutch. Pinto added extra sheen to the sequined dress with "Evie" patent peep-toes from Bally that bring out the shine in the star's dress.

The gorgeous Freida Pinto looked superb wearing a nude draped Donna Karan Resort 2009 gown, with a gold sparkling Leiber clutch, Bally peep-toes and Lorraine Schwartz gems that add enough sparkle without over-doing it.

Freida Pinto made this Christian Lacroix Fall 2008 Couture gown look gorgeous. She completed her look with a Judith Leiber clutch.

Freida looked divine wearing a canary yellow Derek Lam Spring 2009 dress,which really makes her glows. Plus I am in total lust with her clutch.

Freida dazzled in her mint green Grecian-inspired draped Zac Posen Spring 2009 Baby backless dress is complimented with her silver Sergio Rossi peep-toes.

In Marchesa with a matching gold clutch and gold jeweled sandals.

In RM by Roland Mouret with a Bally clutch and peep-toe pumps. Dev Patel, you are one lucky man.

I love Freida in her sari. She looks so naturally gorgeous; the colors highlight her skin tone and radiate off her. Metallics are lovely on this rising star.
